| GameSpy: Long time role-players will be surprised to find that you've 
done away with some old-fashioned game conventions. Archers won't need to carry 
around arrows, and wizards won't need to dig up spell components. What was your 
thinking there?  
  The AC2 Team: Doing town trips to restock were a necessary evil. It 
  wasn't fun. You went into town, did your business and got back to whatever you 
  were doing. Having a fellow say, "Uh, guys, I'm outta arrows. I need ya'll to 
  wait 10 minutes while I recall back to town, logon my fletch mule, and get 
  some arrows" is not a good time for those waiting (and the player that's 
  leaving often will have tinges of shame as well for breaking up the hunt). So 
  short answer: doing town runs for supplies sucks.  |
